Pocket money
I thought I'd try and generate a debate or two as this group seems to have
gone fairly quiet barring the spam. I'm going to raise a couple of senarios, that I've been in as a child or a parent or a friend. This one is about pocket money. Three children, two born at the start of the academic year, one born towards the end. Pocket money could either be raised (and started ot be given) on birthdays, starting at age 5yo. However, assuming that all children go onto university and then get a job and are then self supporting, this means that the one born at the end of the year gets almost a year less of having pocket money as they will be just 18 when they leave home, and the others nearly 19. Alternatively: You could raise pocket money (and start giving it) when they start school. This means that they will have the same number of years having pocket money, but the one at the end of the year starts getting pocket money at only just 4yo rather than nearly 5yo. I can see that either could raise resentment. Or neither. Which do you think is fairer, or have you an alternative (not giving pocket money at all doesn't count!!!) Debbie |
